The whole experience was all we could have hoped for! Guide (Agung?) was a blast, of all the rafts on the river, we were the ones laughing the most. It’s easy and there are a lot of spots to stop and take pics along the way. Go to Sari, you won’t be sorry lol

My friend and I did the white river&nbsp;rafting&nbsp;day trip whilst in Ubud on our Bali adventure. It is well organized and safe, and the guide was so funny. It goes for a decent amount of time, they stop of you to swim under the waterfall, and also support a vendor along the way if you want a refreshment. The time in the raft was beautiful. I really enjoyed this activity! Lunch is also included in the price. Highly recommend it as part of your Bali experiences list.

Best place to enjoy a white water rafting in Ayung River , the best spot in Bali . Professional and good service staff 

We stayed at Kamajaya Villas in Ubud which was about 5 min drive from the main office. Maddy(usually everyone goes by that name in Bali) was our instructor, really buffed up guy who liked to have fun. The climb down to the river was pretty long but the huge rice fields helped. We took the farthest point on the river as our starting location and oh man did we pick the right spot. I got to get down from the raft to swin in the river which was overflowing with water as tuere was some serious rain the previous night. We got to stand under a couple of waterfalls which included a big one. BIGG ONE!! It was my 2nd time rafting and my wife's 4th time, yet this one in ubud is clearly on top of the list now.

Totally recommend it.

I have used Sari Profit white water&nbsp;rafting&nbsp;on four different occasions. It's always great day out. I love the walk through the rice paddies and down to the river. It's not an easy walk but I enjoy the physical challenge of it. It gets you ready for floating along the river. The scenery as you go down the river is beautiful with some Rapids to make the journey fun. I love it when you get to swim in the river. The water is lovely and cool. The guides are very professional, capable and fun.

The walk up the steps at the end is another great physical challenge. I love being over taken by the ladies carrying the rafts up on their heads. It is just impressive how the do it.

The change rooms aren't great but all you need to do is change into dry clothes. So i say just get over it.

The lunch after is sensational. Every time I have really enjoyed it. Whoever they have cooking does a really good job.

The drivers are also good. I've always been picked up and dropped off on time, in clean air conditioned cars.

The only thing I don't like is the smoking. The staff all smoke in the lobby and it doesn't have great ventilation. It's really off putting. The good thing is, I don't think a staff member has ever smoked in front of me anywhere else on the journey. However the lobby is just a haze of stinky smoke.

All in all though it is an excellent day out. They do a marvellous job.

From Ubud promptly picked us up for short 15 min drive to office (which is also the finish point of the&nbsp;rafting). Changing rooms, and lockers to store dry clothes. Can put in dry bag some stuff for the&nbsp;rafting, but basically wear togs/clothes happy to get wet including shoes/jandals. Pay first (400K each for 4 of us), then they drive you to start of&nbsp;rafting&nbsp;(15 mins). Get life jacket, helmet, paddle and walk down steps to the start of 12 km/1.5-2 hour paddle. Got really wet, our guide was great and no one fell out. I think our guide was really fantastic, expert at guidiing the boat, made it really fun. Rapids weren’t too scary, kids really enjoyed it. 2 hours on river, then finished at office. Changed into dry clothes and lunch upstairs. Ribs or chicken with rice, noodles. Recommend ribs. We passed the start points for a number of other&nbsp;rafting&nbsp;companies, so seemed like we got one of the longest trips (some seemed to start at half way). Take photos at the end which print out any you want at 50,000 each. If you want drink half way 20,000k, and extra drinks at lunch cheap. Great fun, and can’t imagine how any the the more expensive places would be any better.

For only 850,000 Rp for the two of us, we were also driven from Sanur to Ubud and return. The descent of a thousand steps down to raft was unexpected but fun, the scenery spectacular and the rafting superb. The ascent up the steps will challenge anyone with suspect knees or thighs. The only disappointment was the lunch. Inexplicably we weren't given a choice as per the brochure, but was served a luke warm chicken leg and rice and a banana each. My partner and I were then confined to our hotel room for the next two days with Bali belly! I know we could have got it anywhere, but we have our suspicions. I'd do it all again tomorrow, but pass on the lunch.

We really enjoyed the&nbsp;rafting&nbsp;even though it was fairly tame. We've done this in the Andes in much bigger water but even so there were plenty of small rapids to keep us entertained and it was an enjoyable trip through the rain forest. One thing they don't tell you is that there's hundreds of steps down to the river and hundreds back up again so if you're not fit or have poor knees this isn't for you.

The guide was cheerful and good fun and encourage us to splash the other boats as we passed them by.

Good river and wonferful views. Friendly captain. The equipment not the best but for us it was enough.

Our guide - Wayan, was bubbly and energetic and made our entire&nbsp;rafting&nbsp;trip enjoyable, fun and safe. Before you can enjoy the nice rafting experience, you have to brave the walk down to the river which took is a good 15 mins and down very steep and uneven steps. If you're not so medically fit it will be a challenge. Make sure to wear good waterproof comfy footwear. The walk down was most arduous. The walk back up after the rafting was more manageable though you would have to climb up stairs but at least they are proper stairs and probably took us abt 10 mins.

The trip down the river was gorgeous with beautiful rainforest, waterfalls and passing by 5 star resorts which were built along the Ayung river.

The lunch after was fantastic!! The pork ribs were tender and deliciously marinated. Much better than at Wild Hog I must say. You have got to try their ribs if available.

The downside is the smoking in the shop which was very choking as there was no ventilation.

Great fun - be prepared for a long walk down (520 steps)! A great family activity with fantastic guides.

We have done&nbsp;rafting&nbsp;in Bali many times so we knew what to expect. Changing facilities are never great at these places and are always very basic. This was no exception. Showers and toilets need a good clean. I tried to spend as little time as possible in the changing area. There is also a discrepancy in the price charged for the rafting. We asked one of the staff from our hotel to make the booking which cost us 500k INDR per person. However, upon arrival to the office I noticed that their brochure quoted $72USD. Quite a difference. Guess it depends on who you know as to whether you get charged Bali price or Tourist price.

The trek down to the Ayung River included a 5 min walk through rice fields and then a 600m descent down some steep and treacherous stairs. If you have any walking difficulties, heart condition, or like myself, asthmatic, then I would suggest you proceed with caution. I found the walk down long and tedious. By the time I had reached the river, my leg muscles were shaking involuntarily. I was grateful to finally sit down in the raft.

Our guide was experienced and very friendly. He made the 2 hour rafting experience very enjoyable. Unlike other rafting experiences we had been on, this one DID NOT go over any dangerous waterfalls for which we were grateful. If it had, we would have opted out anyway and walked along the riverbank instead. It is not worth the risk.

At the end of the journey, you are then faced with a 400m trek up the stairs. I found this part the most difficult as my breathing became asthmatic. I therefore had to take it very slowly, stopping several times along the way to catch my breath. It was also very hard on my already sore leg muscles.

Unfortunately most of these rafting companies DO NOT warn you about the walk down to and up from the river. If you are not prepared, this could be dangerous.

By the time we got back to the main office and the awful change rooms, I had had enough and just wanted to get back to our hotel. We didn't even stay for the lunch that was being offered as I was concerned about food safety and hygiene. Instead, we asked to be driven back to our hotel.

Made a last minute booking on the recommendation of other guests in my hotel. Glad I did. Pickup on time, nice driver. Wait for other guests at office was too long. Bring a book if you're a solo traveller. Drive out to start point very scenic, in good car. Rafts and life jackets good quality and guides inspired confidence. Walk down was through lovely rice paddies and down steps not at all bad and I'm mid fifties. The river is incredibly beautiful. I think early April is a really good time, tail end wet season so plenty water but we had sunshine. I was in a raft with two very nice Japanese people. Rapids not at all scary. Enough to be exhilarating though. Loved the carvings on the river bank and swimming under the waterfall. Bought a coconut mid trip, 20k Rp, bring money. The&nbsp;rafting&nbsp;part lasted two hours and finished close to their office. Stairs up from the river not at all daunting. Cold shower, nice clean towel, lunch pumpkin soup, nasi and mie goreng either with chicken or with egg if vegetarian. Nicely served and tasty. Worthwhile experience. Felt safe and well looked after.
